From "I'm interested" to "we're collecting more" โ€” in under 30 days.

We've onboarded enough Michigan practices to know exactly where it gets stuck. Here's the full path: discovery, transition, go-live, and the daily and monthly rhythm we'll run together.

Phase 1 โ€” Onboarding

Four steps to live

Most practices are fully transitioned within 21โ€“30 days. We do the heavy lifting; your team confirms.

1

Discovery & Free Audit

We spend 30 minutes understanding your practice, then review 90 days of de-identified billing data. You get a written audit showing exactly where revenue is leaking and the dollar value of fixing it. No commitment, no obligation.

Timeline: 1 week.

2

Agreement & Setup

We sign a HIPAA-compliant Business Associate Agreement and a transparent service agreement (no long lock-in). Then we set up secure EHR/PM access, clearinghouse routing, ERA enrollment, and payer EFT โ€” all coordinated by your account manager.

Timeline: Days 7โ€“14.

3

Transition & Go-Live

We import fee schedules, validate provider enrollments, audit modifier rules, and run a parallel test cycle. On go-live day, claims start flowing. Your account manager is on call. We meet weekly for the first 60 days.

Timeline: Days 14โ€“30.

4

Optimization & Reporting

By day 60 we've seen enough cycles to recommend specific revenue improvements. Monthly executive reviews start. Your dashboard goes live. We tighten the screws on denials, A/R, and coding patterns we identified during the audit.

Timeline: Day 60+ ongoing.

Phase 2 โ€” Daily operations

The daily rhythm of a clean revenue cycle

Once you're live, here's what happens every day on your account โ€” even when you don't hear from us.

Morning

  • โ–ธRun eligibility checks for tomorrow's schedule
  • โ–ธReview previous-day clearinghouse rejections โ€” fix and resubmit
  • โ–ธPull yesterday's encounters from your EHR
  • โ–ธCode & queue charges for submission

Midday

  • โ–ธSubmit fully scrubbed claims to clearinghouse
  • โ–ธPost incoming ERAs and reconcile to bank deposits
  • โ–ธWork the day's denials โ€” appeal, correct, or escalate
  • โ–ธAnswer patient billing questions on your dedicated line

Afternoon

  • โ–ธInsurance follow-up calls for aged claims (30/60/90)
  • โ–ธProcess secondary claims as primary EOBs come in
  • โ–ธSend out the day's patient statements
  • โ–ธQA random sample of charts coded that day

End of day

  • โ–ธUpdate KPI dashboard so your view stays current
  • โ–ธFlag missing-charge alerts for providers
  • โ–ธPost payments received, file remittances
  • โ–ธTomorrow's prep โ€” pre-visit eligibility, prior auths
Phase 3 โ€” Monthly cadence

How we partner with you each month

You'll never have to ask "how is my practice doing?" โ€” you'll know.

Week 1 โ€” Month-end close

Final ERAs posted, secondaries submitted, adjustments categorized, bank reconciled. We close the books on the prior month so the report tells the truth.

Week 2 โ€” Executive review

Your written report lands in your inbox. We schedule a 30-minute video review to walk through the numbers, surface trends, and agree on three action items for the month.

Week 3 โ€” Coding feedback

Per-provider memo with documentation tips and coding patterns we observed. Small changes that compound โ€” one provider raised E/M reimbursement 11% in two months.

Week 4 โ€” A/R deep work

Coordinated push on aged buckets โ€” escalations, phone calls to payer reps, and write-off reviews. We share what we recovered and why anything was written off.

Quarterly โ€” Deep dive

Every 90 days we run a quarterly business review with strategic recommendations: payer mix, fee schedule benchmarking, new service profitability, and scaling decisions.

Annually โ€” Compliance review

Full HIPAA review, OIG work plan check, payer contract calendar, credentialing renewal schedule. We stay ahead of revalidations and re-credentialing so nothing lapses.

Communication

You'll always know who to call.

One dedicated account manager. One direct phone line. One email thread. No phone trees, no ticket queues, no "let me transfer you to billing."

And if you ever feel like you're not getting the attention you need โ€” call the founder directly. The number is on every monthly report.

Service-level expectations

  • Email response within 4 business hours
  • Phone callback same business day
  • Urgent issues escalated within 1 hour
  • Monthly executive review with your name on it
  • Founder accessible for any escalation
Pricing

Simple, transparent, aligned with your success

We charge a flat percentage of collections โ€” meaning we only get paid when you do. Custom quotes after the audit, but here's how we think about it.

Percentage of collections

Most engagements price between 4โ€“8% of net collections, depending on volume, specialty complexity, and which services you take on. No setup fees on standard engagements.

No long contracts

Month-to-month after the first 90 days. If we're not earning our keep, you walk away. Most clients stay for years โ€” but we never want a contract holding you here.

No surprise charges

Statements, postage, clearinghouse fees, ERA enrollment โ€” all included unless flagged in writing up front. The percentage is the percentage.

Ready to see the audit?

Step one is a 30-minute discovery call and a free 90-day data audit. We'll show you exactly where the money is โ€” and what it would take to get it back.
